Canada’s Top Energy Innovators 2015

What does innovation in the energy sector look like? Hint: it’s not all taking place in a lab. From companies collaborating to advance environmental performance to reusing components found in tailings ponds to detecting hydrocarbon “noise” in the air, innovation comes in many different shapes and sizes. Celebrating innovation happening across the country, Alberta Oil magazine has compiled Canada’s Top Energy Innovators 2015. While only time will tell if these innovations, 26 to be exact, will all lead to great things, they’re sure to at least inspire the industry to further explore new opportunities.

Oil Sands Question and Response (OSQAR) is a blog created by Suncor Energy to support constructive dialogue about the oil sands. In our weekly posts, we talk about the energy industry, environmental impact, tailings management and reclamation, water management and the social and economic implications of oil sands development.

Our oil sands operations are near Fort McMurray, Alberta, where we recover bitumen from oil sands through mining and in situ operations. The bitumen from both operations is then upgraded to refinery-ready feedstock and diesel fuel. More about the where and the what of the oil sands can be found on our oil sands resource page.
